Hi there,
Can anyone help me with what the best qos and bufferbloat settings I have 48 down 19 up, mainly for the PS4 and a few other devices like phones and tv but nothing major.
Can see...
Everything looks ok. You could try disabling Port Scan and DOS proctection. I have tried this on occasion to see if anything changes. I haven't been effected by these kinds of attacks though. Just something to try.
NAT Filter can be set to OPEN if you have more than one gaming console or PC online at the same time. I have two and need this option set to OPEN. It changes the way uPnP handles port usaged for two or more game devices getting OPEN NAT in some games while gaming at the same time.
Ok, making sure the modem is a modem only. Modems with routers built in bring other problems.
Cheers mate!
Just the one console so sounds like secured is the way to go for me.
I’ll give disabling the port scan and dos protection a go then, does this have the potential to smoothen gameplay you think by doing so?
Appreciate your advice being a complete novice.

Anything maybe possible at this point. Over all gaming should be good. You can re-enable any of these settings after testing if you think nothing has changed.
I would so set up the sliders for 99% and test to see how gaming does. Then you can gradually test with sliding the siders to a lower setting if you need.
- Can anybody help me with the port triggering I want to see if that helps improve things.
I need advice for pes 2019 the ports are below
TCP 1935, 3478 - 3480
UDP 3074, 3478 - 3479, 5740
So firstly I have static up setup for PS4
In port triggering I add service, starting with the first TCP I create a service name, leave service user to any and change the service type and connection type to TCP as opposed to TCP/UDP or just UDP
With it being a single number make the starting and ending point the same number in this instance 1935 is that correct?
For the next option that is two numbers what do I need to do here? I’m speaking about the TCP port 3478-3480 do i separate the numbers and make the first the starting point and the second number do I input that as the ending point?
Also what input do I need for the triggering port is it the double number or not?
I anyone could shed some light on this and if this is the same for the UDP port numbers then that would be great.
I have it that from the numbers above I need to create 5 sets of port triggering options.
Thanks.Hi there - generally Port Forwarding is better than Port Triggering for gaming because it will continue to port foward indefinitely. At least, it shouldn't make a difference choosing one over the other.
If you're not sure if the packets are TCP or UDP (usually games are UDP), then put both down. It shouldn't do any harm.
If you're doing a range then put the hyphen in ('-') and it will port forward/trigger for all the numbers in between it e.g. 1024-1026 will forward 1024,1025 and 1026
Hope that answers your questions
